That's good news ;-) It's may be very near future that we can create GNOME applications in Ruby. > However, Bonobo uses corba and we don't have a working > ruby-orbit-binding. I have not written GNOME application and I don't know how bonobo applications use ORBit. Roughly reading documentations, I see the GOAD library makes initialize and returns gnome-name-service as a ORBit Object. A few weeks ago I release Rinn which can communicate gnome-name-service. I think if there is simple new ruby-goad library which can get object-reference of gnome-name-service as a IOR string, then Rinn could communicate with gnome-object. > There is a ruby-orbit-project that is abandoned. > This means that this Bonobo-binding will be alittle limited (not bad.. > but some) I would not abandone ruby-orbit...(^^; I think to create orbit binding under Rinn platform, but it may be far future. If anyone want to rear ruby-orbit, I may entrust the person with it.
